Expats in Dubai Podcast

Fraudsters often recruit for a ‘dream job’.

Fraud occurs in the workplace when an employer misrepresents (spoken or in writing) something about your job.  Fraud may arise when an employer makes a false representation concerning offer letters, job security, potential commission, or other aspects of employment.  

Katleen Penel, a HR specialist from Belgium, believed her husband's employer had violated his legal rights relating to his employment with the British-owned Real Estate company in Dubai.    When the company knowingly made false promises of commission on property sales, but later refused to pay the commission, she worked with her husband to bring a fraud claim against the real estate company.

In this episode Katleen shares her story of the internal workings of the real estate company that led her to explore the MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization) and how she won the claim of fraud against the company.

It's the World Cup 2022!

And from Dubai, it's less than an hour away to watch this iconic sporting event, LIVE.  What an amazing opportunity for the whole of the Middle East. 

England football fans have been through so much heartbreak over the years. The game means so much to us and while we're often the underdogs we never stop believing. Every time the world cup or euros come around, this song of hope brings everyone in the country together and that's beautiful.

Three Lions is so amazing that fans from other countries love to vibe with it too. Can't wait to sing it loud and proud in the stadium and to believe...

Is it?  Is it actually coming home!?

Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal.  But does it have to be? 

In this episode Amber examines why people cheat, and unpacks why affairs are so traumatic: because they threaten our emotional security.  In infidelity, she sees something unexpected — an expression of longing and loss. 

And when an affair is exposed what are some of the specific things that couples can do? How do we heal from an affair? And if we can divorce, why do we still have affairs?

A must-listen for anyone who has ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new framework for understanding relationships.

The newly implemented UAE Owners Association law came with greater responsibilities to improve quality of service and return on investments.

Law 6 of 2009 on the Ownership of Common Property repealed Law 27 of 2007 and marked a substantial change in the operation of Jointly Owned Property and the roles and functions of the Owners Association Board and The Management Bodies as properties  – as with every investment – needed to be protected and increased in value.  

How do Owners Association Boards address the new law? And how to they spend the community service charge budget with the aim to protect the home purchasers and also boost the real estate investments.

We sit down with the Chairman of the Owners Committee for the Burj Residencesin Downtown, one of Emaar’s most prestigious communities consisting of nine towers.  Mr Reza Mohammadiexplains how the committee has maintained the investment value of the properties to remain one of the most in demand property developments in Dubai.

Can a car be a sound investment in your financial portfolio? Should you diversify your garage as much as your holdings?  

For the automotive enthusiast, one way to diversify an investment portfolio is indeed to start collecting classic cars. 

Most cars lose value immediately after they are driven off the dealer lot, but classic cars gain in value over time, due to rarity, performance, or special attributes. Classic cars, in general, gain in value more than other types of collectibles, although cars are more high-maintenance and more complicated to store than say stamps or comic books. The right classic cars can be valued into the several millions of dollars. 

So, investing in collector cars, or collector cars as a form of an investment - If you’re going to buy with profit in mind, you really need have to know what you’re talking about… 

In this episode, we welcome the founder of Expat Motors, Sonny Bains, to the show.  Sonny has over 20 years' experience in the Automotive industry and he applies insight and analytical experience to the collector car market, and today he shares his perspective on investing in collector cars as an option and what that would look like to the average expat person.

Over a third (34%) of people admit to a personal fear stopping them from doing something they wanted to achieve in life. Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings supported Franklin Roosevelt’s saying: ‘The only thing to fear, is fear itself’. And in many ways he was right - fear is what ultimately holds us back from many of the activities and challenges in life that could enrich us rather than damage us in some way. Many of us simply avoid fear, stepping away from situations or objects that trigger anxiety. While this may practically alleviate it in the short run, it also accentuates a feeling of failure and lack of confidence in the long run.

Skydiving is known to be a real catalyst for confronting your fear head-on and turning your life around, because following a sky dive everybody will experience feeling a huge confidence boost in their own abilities, the feeling of having achieved something ‘truly amazing. It is testament to how rewarding this adrenaline-filled sport can be.

In this episode, movie star, Will Smith, talks about what his experience of skydiving in Dubai and what skydiving taught him about fear, and how it changed his life, giving him the confidence to overcome any challenges in other walks of life.

Inheritance matters are inherently complex.

Having a will in place in their country of origin is regarded by many expats as essential planning when they move to live and work abroad, offering peace of mind in the event of a tragedy.

However, many Non-Muslim expats in Dubai are unaware that in the absence of a legally registered will in the UAE, the process of transferring assets after death can be extremely time consuming, costly and fraught with legal complexities. This could mean that assets accumulated during their time in the UAE may not go to their loved ones as they would have intended.

Joining Amber in this episode is Cynthia Trench, Managing Partner,ofTrench & Associates DMCC who have an extensive history in this area of law.  Following the amendments in the Civil Transaction Code and the Personal Status Law in 2020, Cynthia explains the legal framework along with the types of wills that can be executed in the UAE in order to protect assets and investments.  She also shares advice on how expats can prevent wills from being challenged and avoid being misled from financial consultants when protecting their investments.

Todays focus is on one of the most important, if not, the, most important areas of your life.  An area of life that when it’s handled can give you tremendous amount of joy, love and nothing can compete with it, and if it’s handled ineffectively, this is the place of pain, where life seems to lose its meaning.

Following on from episode 18 in The Great Fraud Fightback series we pick up the story after the Dubai police call Neil Grant to the station for questioning  and the pursuit to obtain hard evidence linking the rogue financial advisor to financial advisory fraud to open a criminal case.

The task in this episode was to get around the ‘no contract’ issue as no court of law would even consider such a case, by convincing the police to request a statement from the Department of Economic Development (DED) evidencing Grant and Prosperity Management Consultancy were operating illegally under their business license, steering the conversation away from the lack of a contract and onto the license itself.  Without a contract and without the DED statement the case against Grant was holed below the waterline.

We continue deconstructing the book, The Great Fraud Fightbackand in this episode, following industry revelations from the Dubai regulators, Amber takes her suspicions to the local policein an attempt to take forward her complaint and open an investigation into her financial advisor, Neil Grant.

Here she recounts her experience of persuading the police to open a file and the simple online research that led to an unexpected turn in her story as she discovered she was dealing with a more serious, sinister type of fraudulent behaviour, and not simply a typical case of mis-selling and mis-management.

He swept her off her feet.  She believed she had fallen deeply in love with an ideal partner and was set for the perfect family life.

First, he pushed her, then grabbed her, then squeezed her neck so tightly she almost blacked out.  As she lived in abuse, she morphed into someone else.  The emotional, mental, financial and physical abuse at home caused her to change into someone else.  Someone her abuser created. A few years later she was standing on top of her apartment block.

In part one, Maria tells the dark story of her relationship, correcting misconceptions many hold about victims of domestic abuse, and explains why many domestic abuse victims don’t leave.

The top social problems teenagers struggle with every day – in coaching parents and their teenagers, these are always on the list – mental health, depression, bullying, substance abuse, obesity, academic problems, peer pressure– and these concerns you tend to find are multifarious but interrelated in many cases.

The first thing you ask is…where are they originating from?  

Well let’s ask the teenagers themselves…because no one can answer that question better than them.

In this episode of Behind the Scenes, Amber is joined by Jai Joshi, Ahan Kalra Mathur and Sara Daouk - today’s teenagers, covering some key points and solutions and spreading awareness in the areas most shy away from, discussing how if we set the right foundations for our youth, teenagers can truly flourish.  Together they share their experiences and offer advice to parents on some of the important steps to build a heathy relationship with the teens and handle the concerns effectively.  They explain the impact of creating a safe environment to open the lines of communication, the importance of stability in the home life and the crucial early warning signs that their teen may be struggling.

Throughout the pandemic, energising stories of community, compassion and kindness all around the globe have been heard. Stop and Help is one such story here in Dubai.

The organization started up in March of last year 2020, at the start of the pandemic - with a single objective: to support families in need and families with children in particular. 

It started off as a Facebook group and has ended up helping 200,000 people in need, and counting.

In this episode in the Behind the Scenes series, the founder of the organization, Heather Harries talks about her inspiration behind the initiative, and shares heartbreaking stories of poverty, the increase in invisible children, the emotional toll of insurmountable debts and corporations failing to deliver on gratuities, as well as inspiring stories from the community - essentially strangers who have come together with a common purpose “to help” and to “spread kindness”.

An incredible story that will inspire listeners to follow their passion and to ‘Stop and Help’.

A big part of financial plans is retirement planning and a big part of retirement plans is a pension.  A state pension offers a minimum income to cover the basics, whilst a private pension is a way of deferring some of your income now by putting some money aside for spending when you are older.  When you have a pension, things start to get complicated when you move abroad and the duration of that work experience overseas; add to that the conversations around tax that needs to take place.

In this episode, David Denton, a pension expert from Quilter International encourages expats to think beyond their current job and beyond their time in Dubai if they intend to return home or move to another country in the future.  David discusses some of the complexities expats face and some of the things they need to plan for, in advance, and shares his mantra in financial planning.  And most importantly - what figure do we need to save in order to retire, and retire comfortably? And what does that look like on a state pension and on a private pension.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have been gaining momentum – but what exactly are they, and what constitutes an NTF?  How much are they really worth? Can one tokenize and sell their digital work as an NFT? And are people really paying millions of dollars for tokens?

Amber is joined by award winning Kristel Becharaand the first artist from the UAE to enter the Crypto world and launch and sell NFT’s to global collectors. Here she explains why NFTs are important to artists, the authenticity of artwork and how they are opening doors to global revenue.  Most significantly how the underlying technology of NFTs could become ubiquitous sooner than we think and ultimately everything that we own could be made into and traded as an NFT.

Financial advisory fraud looks to be extremely complex in makeup, and it can feel really overwhelming to try to understand all the nuance and how it happens. But when you break it down, you will find it’s actually not. It’s simply manipulation against a backdrop where neither party can be held legally responsible.  In this episode in the Great Fraud Fightback series, Amber talks us through a case study of how she was manipulated into parting with her savings and was essentially trapped in a Trust she had set up in Jersey via her financial advisor and Guardian Trust Company Ltd as part of a long term savings plan.

Amber is joined by Con Lillis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Abacus, a financial advisory firm headquartered in Dubai to discuss how, as the lack of trust in the financial advisory industry grew, he felt it became necessary to separate client service from leadership and operation of the business.  Lillis made a deliberate decision to move himself away from a client-facing role so he could spend all of his time working on the business and developing its systems and culture, which allows for its advisors to focus solely on what they're truly good at.  In this episode he gives us insight into what he feels is his most valuable client deliverable, the leadership areas he cultivates in every area of the firm, and why supporting advisors to get what they want out of life is a cornerstone principle of his firm.
